It is a great pleasure to join the New York City Latin Media and Entertainment Commission in sending greetings to all those attending the Seventh Annual Celebrate Mexico Now Festival.

New York City is an international artistic, cultural, and entertainment capital. And whether you’re interested in dance, film, literature, or delicious food, Celebrate Mexico Now offers something for festival-goers of all artistic and culinary tastes. With more than 300,000 New York City residents proudly claiming Mexican heritage, we’re pleased to lend our support to the artists, chefs, and organizers instrumental in making our City an annual destination for the creators and connoisseurs of the best of contemporary Mexican art and cuisine.

On behalf of the City of New York, I applaud all those associated with Celebrate Mexico Now for uniting our City in this festival. Please accept my best wishes for an enjoyable celebration and continued success.
